TC was a good FReeper, and a kind man.

TexasCowboy 11th Annual Memorial Shoot
« on: April 26, 2016, 05:33:11 PM »
This years shoot will be held at Hicksville Gun Range, in Gatesville, starting at 10:00 a.m. on October 8th. http://www.hicksvillegunrange.com/ The range fee is $20.00/person, as a bonus, the range has a deaf dog that likes to catch rocks and to hang out on the firing line.

Lunch will be prepared by FReeper cpdiii (Charlie) and we should be ready to eat by 1:00. Charlie always make great food.

There will also be pre & post shoot camaraderie at Cherokee Village ~ http://cherokeevillageresort.com/ ~ Friday & Saturday night; which includes lots of food, alcohol and laughter.

Everyone is more than welcome to come join us; as I have said several times - this is not a FR event, it is to honor an amazing, wonderful friend. The majority of people that attend are from FR, but they are the good ones. :laugh:

Little bit of background: For several years TexasCowboy (El Roy) hosted shoots at different ranges across Texas, three or four times a year. After all the guns were put away he’d fire up his grill and cook lunch. Everyone had a great time and it was a chance to get to know fellow FReepers. In early 2005 TC was diagnosed with bone cancer and, sadly, after a 10 month battle he passed away. On the ride home from his funeral my husband & I were discussing how to keep TC’s memory alive ~ his children are crap and probably forgot all about him once they received their inheritance. I came up with the idea of continuing the shoots, but on an annual basis. BOOM! The TexasCowboy Annual Memorial Shoot was born.

El Roy was a fine Texas gentleman with a heart of gold, and gave the best hugs! He’d hate what is happening to FR.

There is a Facebook page that I try to keep updated ~ https://www.facebook.com/groups/103779094182/ ~ let me know if you would like to be added to this page.

Some of my ancestors moved here over 125 years ago from Gatesville. Their old home is still there in Hay Valley. Have not seen it in long time.

EAGLES UP and safe shooting.

Thanks. I do not remember any of his posts, but he fits the cowboy moniker for sure.

Thanks so much, we have had a wonderful weekend so far. My non-freeper hubby is loving this and that range is outstanding. We’re resting up a few minutes then will see y’all for supper :)
